Why the scores diverge

The 12-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
The Odyssey highlight: The film prominently features Odysseus's reflective moralizing and thematic messaging through dialogue, especially in its opening scenes, which suggests a message-first approach to storytelling.
Thor: Ragnarok highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into humor and quips that serve the tone more than the story, but rarely feels like overt ideological lecturing.
The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
Thor: Ragnarok: Some characters appear to be included or emphasized for diversity and comedic effect rather than deep narrative integration, though this does not dominate the film.
